Irish Soda Bread...

Top of the morning to you!! This delicious soda bread recipe comes from my sister Ann who has been making this for years. It comes together quickly and is a nice treat for St. Patrick's Day.

Irish Soda Bread

3 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

3 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups raisins

2 eggs beaten

1 1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tbsp. melted butter

Mix all the dry ingredients together ( including the raisins ) I used half dark and half golden raisins. Then mix in wet ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hrs or until cake tester comes out dry.

What a neat tea set for St. Patty's day!I'll make this wonderful recipie this week , I see you used a nine x twelve pan? The one other time I made soda bread it was free form, this is a much better idea.top o the eveningxx

I will also take the recipe with me. The bread looks really good.I have been meaning to tell you that I really like to visit your blog. Also the pictures of your sweet lab always put a smile on my face. I have a lab friend, too. They are the best.

Thanks for dropping by and for your happy birthday wishes for Bella.I hope your Bella had a lovely birthday and enjoyed the home made biscuits.The first time I had soda bread was when I was over in Ireland,and from then on I was hooked! :0)

Ooouu thanks for this. I told myself a few weeks ago that when it got closer to St. Pat's Day that I was going to try and make Soda bread since it is something I have never made before. And I only have tasted it once...but I liked...so thanks, I am going to try this!

That looks a great recipe - I've only tried the ordinary soda bread recipes before, but with your sister Ann's recipe, the added dried fruit it turns it into something you can have any time of day with a cup of tea or coffee.The tea set is very pretty and very appropriate!Hope you enjoyed it!Gill

Yum! I think I might need to try your last few recipes as they all sound delish. Love wine! If I am in the States this summer, will have to check out the Cupcake brand. :) Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Blessings, Tammy
